Forum: Let Iraq’s religious war play out

As a former wise supervisor once told me, “There is no permanent solution to a religious war.” This is being played out now in Iraq.

This war is not about the Muslims going against the Jews or Christians but Islamic sects fighting each other with brutality seemingly having no bounds. Beheadings are not unusual. So, given this situation, how could a rational person conclude that a single American life be wasted to intercede in this religious quagmire?

In fact, some U.S. citizens may rightfully conclude that as long as this war is among different Islamic sects there will be some Islamic radicals eliminated in the process who are bent on destroying America. So, let Iraq’s religious war play out among them, thus resulting in fewer remaining radicals left to try and destroy America.
